The Naderī satī stone inscription is an epigraphic record documenting the self-immolation of a woman after the death of her husband. It has been assigned to the fifth or sixth century CE.
Naderi is located in Guna District, Madhya Pradesh, India, to the south of the town of Chanderi.
The inscription has been noted by M. B. Garde, H. N. Dvivedī and M. Willis in their respective epigraphic lists.[1]
The inscription is written in Sanskrit and appears to record the satī of a woman after her husband was killed by a lion. The inscription is dated 66 or the initial numbers of the date have been omitted; palaeography suggests a date in the 5th or 6th century.
